Thanks to all who made a pledge to the Annual Diocesan
Appeal. Currently, we have pledges of $64,333 toward our
goal of $69,151. We have received pledge cards from 251
parishioners. A gift to the ADA, no matter how great or
small, can go a long way. A pledge of $10 or $20 a month
can add up. Even a one-time gift is helpful to the
cause. To those who have contributed, we are most grateful.
If you have not yet made a gift to the ADA, we invite
you to do so today. There are envelopes in the Narthex and
at the doors. Every dollar raised to make our goal supports
important diocesan services and every dollar raised over
our goal will be kept in the parish to help us fix our piping so
we can have heating and cooling in the church.

Major strokes often follow mini-strokes. These “mini” strokes—often called TIA’s (Transient Ischemic Attacks) can sometimes go away in 5-10 min. but they are a warning signal. Nearly 50% of the people who have a major stroke do so within 24 hrs. of a TIA.

Lent is the principal season of penance in the Christian year. Priests, religious and laity are strongly urged to develop and follow a program of voluntary self-denial, attentiveness to prayer, and especially to works of charity and mercy.
